Safe at last!
Although his lifesaver was a little boy even prettier than himself, Ji Jue always felt there was sothing odd about it.
But the mont he saw that familiar face appear in his vision, Ji Jue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—was this the sense of security that White Deer brought him?
It truly was comforting!
The charged attack had been rely a greeting, but the mont Xiao An reached a high vantage point, what flew out from his sleeve was a steel storm.
Thunder rolled continuously, iron fell like rain, and the earth trembled.
All Ji Jue could see were streaks of white lines shooting through the air, pointing towards the enemies engulfed by the storm. In an instant, the red-hot iron shards, accompanied by thunder, had pierced the bodies of the crowd of Chosen Ones.
Heads, necks, hearts, livers, hands, tendons, legs, genitals...
The terrifying power comparable to that of an anti-material sniper rifle exploded into clouds of blood mist; the sheer impact blasted countless pieces of flesh and shattered bones.
But it didn't stop there.
It was like flogging a dead horse—
"Ji Jue, be careful!"
A tense voice sounded, "His Matrix belongs to the Iron Guard of the Empire!"
The crowd's lineage from the Imperial Army, renowned for their toughness and defensive battles, the Mountain Land Dragon Army had faced enemies many tis their number in bloody trench warfare, enduring month after month of endless see-saw battles, relying on this Matrix, countless enemies fell as if through a at grinder.
In White Deer's wild senses, Xiao An could naturally detect the opponent's recently used blessings and aura.
Herbert's "anticipate the enemy," which allowed one to perform at full strength regardless of pain and interference as long as one breathed, "Lion's Enthusiasm," which made attacks and charges unstoppable, "Wind Sweeping Cloud"...
If it really was the Iron Guard, then...
These injuries probably wouldn't rob the opponent of their fighting ability!
In that mont, within the spreading blood, that mutilated body twitched again. On the shattered visage, the flesh and remaining teeth gritted terribly as they writhed half-section.
A primal, instinctual prayer was offered.
"O General Gao Yuan, I dedicate all my pain to you—"
In that mont, amidst the soaring blood-red flas, the 'mangled corpse' rapidly healed at a visibly swift pace!
Flesh regenerated, bones reknit, skin creepily grew over the mutant face, sprouting devil-like twisted horns, and blood-red eyes opened on the cheeks.
Then, armor as dark as clotted blood appeared amidst the flas.
Bang!
The iron shard thrown by Xiao An embedded in the armor!
"Fierce Battle," "Soul Burning," "Blood Drink"—after these common blessings were activated, they could trigger the true effect of the Iron Guard Matrix.
—[Rejuvenation]!
In the blink of an eye, fully revived!
Ji Jue was completely devastated.
He had barely managed to kill one health bar, and this damn thing had entered its second phase, transforming and fully reviving...
How the hell were they supposed to fight this!
Although such a fearso effect surely consud a lot of spiritual essence, the problem lay in the fact that, according to his mory, the ceremony of the Upper Inheritance for the Iron Guard granted the Chosen One the ability to plunder the spiritual essence of killed enemies through "Soul Conquest"!
Though this ability only plundered up to fifteen to sixteen percent and posed strong side effects and ntal strain, the opponent had now mutated.
Absolutely deranged!
Did they really expect him to recover from that through doubling down?
Boom!
A trendous explosion blasted through the air. If not for the small bullhorse making a sudden burnout maneuver on the spot, Ji Jue feared he might have been smashed right off the vehicle.
And the opponent? He rely reached down, pulled up a broken road curb and hurled it at him.
Even so, the truck bed was struck by the shattered stones, instantly denting and deforming under the screaming horns of the bullhorse, causing Ji Jue to grit his teeth in fury:
"I just got that paint fixed two days ago!!!"
Damn it, his vehicle wasn't even insured, and he couldn't find an insurance company in Cliff City willing to cover the three-wheeled design of the bullhorse; he probably had to fix the talwork himself.
"Charge! Charge! Charge!!!"
The blood-drenched crowd of Chosen Ones raised their heads, holding their long swords high, frenziedly shouting, "Land Dragon Army, victorious! Victorious! Victorious!"
Thus, once again they sang the passionate military chant, imrsed in the battlefield.
Laughing crazily, waving his hand.
He chopped down all the iron shards thrown by Xiao An, stepping forward.
But suddenly, he staggered.
A motorcycle parked by the road abruptly started, rcilessly accelerated, and with a leap, the heavy vehicle, weighing hundreds of pounds, sorsaulted through the air, aiming straight for Herbert, yet he cleanly sliced it in two, bursting it!
Gasoline splashed, ignited, but he seed unafraid of the burn, completely indifferent.
His crimson eyes turned to Ji Jue.
Herbert's Blessing·Wind Sweeping Cloud charged up again, launching from the Blood Flas!
Then, it collided head-on with an empty SUV, exploding loudly. Before he could stabilize again, Ji Jue clenched his teeth, pointing towards a rusty road maintenance vehicle nearby.
[Bring him down!!!]
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, Ji Jue couldn't care less anymore; nearly everyone else had already run off, and at this point, there was little concern for collateral damage.
